ABOUT YOU

You are passionate about making a lasting impact in communities, driven by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. You excel at building relationships, inspiring action and ownership in others, and strengthening capacity through guidance and feedback. You thrive in dynamic environments, tackling challenges with integrity and creativity, and using real-time data to track progress, lead meaningful discussions, and drive continuous improvement.

YOUR GOALS

As a MsingiTek Field Officer, you will oversee up to 10 schools and drive the long-term success of the program. Your primary goals are to:

1. Ensure all hardware is functional.
2. Ensure sessions run smoothly and on schedule.
3. Ensure the average learner in your portfolio receives at least 100 minutes of quality learning each week (Time on Task).
4. Strengthen the ownership and capacity of headteachers and teachers to sustain and improve the program.
5. Boost both teacher and learner attendance and enrollment.

Success will be measured by stable or improving time on task, functional equipment, and a strong transition of ownership to the schools, ensuring the program’s impact lasts well beyond your direct support.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Equipment and Infrastructure: Support the installation and completion of hardware, software, infrastructure, and security improvements in all your schools by the program launch date.
• Equipment Monitoring: Routinely track the functionality of all equipment during every school visit. Ensure issues are identified early, reported through the correct channels, and resolved quickly—minimizing disruptions to learning.
• Inventory & Tablet Scanning: Perform monthly inventory and stock counts together with Head Teachers, and conduct tablet scanning to ensure accurate reporting of all assets and equipment.
• Teacher Training: Host sessions to onboard schools on the program and thereafter on a need basis to identify best practices for equipment and session management, fostering ownership of practices to minimize breakage and maximize quality learning (weekly minutes per child).
• Community Sensitization: Conduct initial and ongoing sensitization efforts to engage and educate the community about the program, fostering their support and ensuring long-term sustainability (such as equipment ownership and care, student attendance).
• Data Reporting: Guarantee 100% of tablets report data accurately and on time. Quickly flag and resolve any issues with non-reporting tablets to maintain data integrity.
• Data Usage: Use collected data to deliver actionable feedback to stakeholders during meetings. Teach and empower stakeholders to value and use this data effectively and independently.
• School Oversight: For the first few months, visit each school every week. After stabilizing, visit at least every 2 weeks, increasing visits if performance lags. Provide remote follow-ups when necessary.
• Problem Solving: Involve ward counterparts (WEOs) and, when appropriate, district officials to address challenges through joint problem-solving and shared ownership.
• Government Engagement: Support the MsingiTek annual Government Engagement calendar by planning and coordinating school- and ward-level engagements, sharing data, and preparing school leaders to confidently present, interpret, and own their results and support needs.
